Condition Report Questions

[akwoody2]

Morning,

Following issuing a condition report iv been asked to rectify all codes. Once done do i re-issue a condition report with nothing in the observations and add a side note to day its been rectified or do i reissue it with the observations with a side note saying all of the above has been rectified?

Also where circuits have been replace a EIC will be issued but do i also put the new figures onto the condition report?

Thanks

you do the remedials, fill out EIC or MWC as appropriate, then attach said certs to the original EICR. that way, it's obvious that all codes have been rectified.

ps. why does your avatar say elecrtician and DIY?

Thanks for you reply. some items that have been rectified (IP ratings, down rating fuses, securing cables ect) wont be covered by a EIC or MWC. How do i go about noting that they have been rectified?

To answer your question, im not to sure why it says DIY and iv tried getting hold of a staff member to change it as i cant find out how to do it myself on my profile. As of yet iv had no joy changing it.

add a comments page detailing these minor issues.

it will need a member of staff to alter your status. try a pm to GMES or Marvo.

Pm sent mate I'm just on phone so don't want to start navigating things from this.
Also only staff can alter those settings for obvious reasons. At the moment my 8 stone pooch in in my place having a nap after his morning run, feel free to come and move him lol.

You should now be a regular member woody and lost the DIY tag.

Just to chuck a curved ball in this ....

If the EICR is to be given to a letting agent, this "original EICR ad other certs tactic" won't work - they will want a "satisfactory" report and if this is the case you will need to update the original (and charge accordingly)!

Just saying....

Thanks GMES!

Valid point Murdoch, although its not for a lanlord that's how i thought i would have to do it along with adding the EIC for the new circuits that i have installed

leg of lamb my arse!. that mutt needs a half a cow to stop him eating the sofa.

Oh so true true true.
A cat would barely touch the sides ...

Do the works, issue MWC, EIC and reissue a new EICR with satisfactory on it, assuming you don't find a load of other stuff wrong.

OK Tin hat on. The last time I was in this situation, I provided the client with a plain English, written statement of what the problems were, along with a quote for putting it right. I gave them the option of either just paying for the unsatisfactory EICR and getting other quotes for the work required, or accepting my quote for the remedial work. I then provided certs for the remedial work and a satisfactory EICR. A lot of customers are bamboozled by the EICR and just want things put right? As long as we don't seek to take advantage of the situation I don't see whats wrong with this, but I suppose some unscrupulous people might try and take advantage. I think charging for 2 EICR's and doing the work is taking the mick really, all they want at the end of it all is a cert that says "satisfactory", not one that says "unsatisfactory" with some others attached to it?
